== Using boosters ==

To use a booster, right click on it and select 'Consume'. This can be done in space or at a station. Each booster type has a different "slot" that it uses, viewable in the character sheet. ~~You~~ cannot use another booster if it occupies the same slot as currently active booster. These slots are distinct from those used for regular neural implants.

Each ~~flavor~~ of booster has four side effects associated with it. When the booster is used, each of these effects has a chance of occurring. A pilot might have no penalties for using a booster, or could experience all four at once. The chance of getting a side effect is 20% for Standard, 30% for Improved, and 40% for Strong. The ~~effects~~ are -20% for Standard, -25% for Improved, and -30% for Strong. Both the chance of getting a side effect and the potency of any received effect can be reduced by skills and implants.
